"Get lost!" Adrian shouted as he unleashed the Inferno Purgatory, sending Alistair flying. When the two people outside saw Alistair being thrown by the sword energy, they remained unfazed. After all, even though Adrian had not reached level eight yet, his combat strength was comparable to any level eight fighter. After regaining his footing, Alistair looked at the silhouette in the room ahead and asked incredulously, "He's powerful. Where is he from, or is it common for outsiders to be as powerful as him?""Don't worry. This fellow is an exception," Hansen said indifferently. Meanwhile, Fynn looked at Adrian silently. He had made a mistake. Someone like Adrian should either be killed or befriended for use. However, the opportunity to befriend Adrian had already been seized by Hansen.Adrian turned to them and said, "Get out now. Otherwise, no one will be able to leave this place.”Alistair and Fynn sneered as they turned to Hansen."Are you sure he's trustworthy?" Fynn asked.
After all, this was the only way the people of Blade's Reach could leave this place. "Hansen, you think your eyes can see the future, but have you ever thought that there are things in this world that can shield your vision?" Alistair said while putting down the two swords in his hands.Hansen frowned. It was true that he could not see Alistair's past or future, but he felt this was normal. After all, it was impossible to see all of a person's life. But right now, he felt that Alistair was hinting at something.Alistair suddenly turned his head and shouted, "Emma!"A white figure rushed in from outside the courtyard.With a stern expression, Alistair said to Emma, "Time is running out. I didn't want it to come to this, but now it's time for you to act.""This is what I should do for the village," Emma said calmly.She then threw away her sword and took out a pendant. As she looked at the pendant, there was a hint of reluctance in her eyes. When her parents entered the secret re
"Hand over the Dragon Dial, Adrian!" Emma demanded. This was not Adrian’s first encounter with Emma. But seeing her now, Adrian was surprised because the girl had undergone a significant transformation. The most notable change was her soul, which was burning rapidly. At this rate, she would vanish from this world within minutes."You don't have to do this," Adrian said while shaking his head. "Stop her!" He commanded the Ebony Shade.The sword, Ebony Shade, shot forward and clashed with Emma.Emma now possessed the combat power equivalent to a level eight fighter. Despite the difference in strength, Adrian's Ebody Shade was not only able to hold its ground but it also managed to weaken Emma. Wide-eyed, Thalia exclaimed, "What sword is that?"Adrian's gaze remained on the Dragon Dial as he calmly stated, "It's the sword that you'd never want to come across."As her soul burned, Emma lost almost all her sanity. However, the little awareness she retained warned her that if she co
“I saw this coming.” Adrian sighed as he put down the Dragon Dial. Hansen was unreliable. Even though his eyes were impressive, they were not omniscient. Emma and Hansen's roars indicated that the situation had spiraled beyond his control.Boom!"Don't stop, Adrian! Activate the Dragon Dial!" Thalia urged. Adrian shook his head and said, "It's too late."The room exploded, and a group of people rushed toward Adrian. Some wanted to kill him, while others aimed to snatch the Dragon Dial. Facing the frenzied crowd, Adrian shook his head helplessly. Under the chaotic circumstances, continuing to decrypt the Dragon Dial had become an impossible task. Therefore, he could only escape from the room with the dial in hand."Adrian, I’m placing my trust in you! Take the Dragon Dial and run!" Hansen shouted, "Tyson! Provide cover for Adrian!”"Of course, I will protect the dial," Adrian coldly responded.A man from Emberfallen lunged at Adrian. "I’ve got you!"Seeing the man’s crazed de
The battle descended into utter chaos. In just ten minutes, the ground was littered with hundreds of corpses. Adrian and Thalia had not managed to escape to safety. They were now surrounded and cornered, making any attempt to flee seemingly impossible.The chaos had forced the three village chiefs to remain on the sidelines. Their eyes were bloodshot when they noticed nearly half of their elite warriors had fallen in the conflict. "Why don't we stop the battle, sit down, and talk this through?" Hansen suggested.His villagers had been holding off the other two villages, and the toll on his men was significant. At least three hundred of them were dead, and most of them were elite warriors. Most of the forces from the other two villages did not join the fray as they only sent their elites. Although the casualties among the elite forces in all three villages were similar, Blade's Reach’s situation was the most dire."Hmph! Now you want to negotiate?" Fynn scoffed, mocking the proposa
Everyone in this world fought to protect their own interest. Rarely was a war waged with the intention to annihilate another country or race. Such actions brought the stigma of executioner upon oneself and did not yield any benefits.Therefore, despite years of conflict and deep-seated animosities, the three villages seldom entertained the thought of eradicating each other. It simply did not align with their overall interests. Besides, none of them knew their respective trump cards. If they acted recklessly, it might bring destruction upon themselves.Yet, the three villages had been engaged in intermittent warfare for centuries."Stop struggling, Hansen. Blade’s Reach has lost. Besides, Emberfallen found the dial first, so we have more claim over it," Alistair stated."Hah, if we can't get the dial, no one will. Also, we obtained the dial first," Hansen countered. "Nonsense. Emberfallen found it a year ago and simply hadn’t studied it thoroughly. We didn't want to take any hasty
“I didn't expect you to be so worried about me," Adrian said coldly. After all, Thalia had tried to kill him just less than a month ago.Thalia helplessly said, "It's not like I have a choice right now. They want my dragon soul, and I have no one else to trust but you. Rest assured, if you can get me out, I'm willing to cooperate with you."Adrian shook his head. This was not the first time the dark dragon had proposed cooperation since they first met. He had not agreed back then, and he was not about to change his stance now. However, he might consider it if the dark dragon decided to leave Thalia's body. But for the dark dragon, Thalia's body was its final refuge. If it came out, it would mean the end of its existence."Adrian! We have an idea up and we'd like you to hear it," Hansen said.Seeing Hansen’s expression, Adrian frowned. It seemed to him that things were getting more and more complicated. "Have you reached an agreement?" Adrian smiled.Besides Hansen, the leaders o
Adrian stared at Alistair and Fynn darkly.Hansen then said, "To be frank, Adrian holds a certain position in the outside world. If he can leave, all three villages will need to cooperate with him. Alistair, Fynn, I'd allow myself some leeway if I were you two."Hansen was helpless right now. Due to Alistair's intervention, his eyes could no longer see the future. To him, this was a massive blow. While he had experienced similar incidents before, it rarely happened over the past two hundred years. Based on past experiences, it would take several months for his eye to fully recover. Therefore, they were in a somewhat passive situation right now. In other words, he had relatively little say compared to Alistair and Fynn.Fynn and Alistair looked at each other after hearing Hansen's words. Fynn then turned to Adrian and said, "We know you hold a certain position in the outside world. Otherwise, you wouldn't be this powerful. However…""However, the decision has been made. Whether you
